Master Museo Italia. Exhibition Design and Museography

The Second-Level Master Museo Italia. Exhibition Design and Museography is offered by the University of Florence. The programme addresses four main areas: museum design (spaces, displays, lighting, materials), temporary exhibitions (curation and installation), the exhibition of memory and intangible heritage, and marketing, communication and accessibility. It includes lectures, company seminars, expert conferences and design workshops; the final exercise concerns architectural or curatorial design. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts 12 months and is delivered online in a weekend format, in Italian. The cost is €3,500, VAT exempt. The training internship is optional, at companies, bodies or design studios.

The aim is to train professionals able to work in the enhancement of cultural heritage with a multidisciplinary approach, integrating informed design decisions. Career opportunities include freelance practice and employment with public bodies and private institutions in the cultural sector, in roles such as museum curator, conservator, cultural manager and cultural project designer. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
